[theyregooddogs]

[aha, i can read . . . !! definitely heard someone coming in]

Hello? I'm not going to hurt you.

[turning to face the room, hands up]

[neigh_sayer]

[hmmmm

still cautious, gonna down an invisibility potion again, before speaking]

Do my ears deceive me? Is a certain someone in a game?

Re: THE TEMPLE OF LAW

[theyregooddogs]

[there we go, it's C. checking the area again]

Do you want me to clear out?

[worthathousand]

[ she slightly hefts the lance—not aggressive yet, but readied ]

[ a pause, then joining him in calling out- ] ...I don't think either of us will start a fight if that's not what you're here for.

1/2

[theyregooddogs]

[stepping in front of her, arms out]

Stop. You're not helping.

[theyregooddogs]

[and stabbed by a gang of dolls, falling on his knees]

Who— The hell—?!

[neigh_sayer]

[??????]

What the hell. . .

That wasn't me, for the record!

[worthathousand]

[ about to reply when. dolls.
she lets out a yell, swinging—now purposelessly—at the already-lifeless dolls. ]

Gods—! What did that?

[theyregooddogs]

I know! And I'm, we're going!

[god, going to try getting up]

It was probably some trick of the game. Too many people together . . .

[neigh_sayer]

Proooobably so. . .

You can use this to help stop the bleeding maybe byyyye. . .

[regrowing and throwing the Gentle tapestry in his face, or trying to. SURELY IT CAN BE USED AS A BANDAGE MAYBE but going to skidaddle toward mori]

[worthathousand]

—Wait! ...C?

[ she curses under her breath, then turns her attention back to John ] Why would too many matter?

[ setting the lance aside a moment, she begins finding scraps of the tapestry—something to try to stop the bleeding. ]

----

(( roll 3d6 on Precision: 2, 3, 3 = success ))

[theyregooddogs]

Enough people get together means no one is going to kill.

[pulling his jacket and shirt off, checking the wounds with a groan]

Let me see that, first.

[worthathousand]

[ she lifts her hands away, resting one protectively against her lance. the bandages look in a fairly reasonable state so far, as field dressing goes. ]

I remembered some of what you taught. The motions don't feel... entirely unfamiliar, in practice.

[theyregooddogs]

[trying to piece together what it said and nodding, allowing her to bandage]

Pressure. They just need to be tight enough.

[worthathousand]

[ a sharp nod, and she does as instructed, letting him direct her hands if necessary ]

...What you said to C, earlier... Are you going to fight at all?

[theyregooddogs]

[will instruct, yes, but letting her generally have it. going to shrug clothes back on when she's done]

No, I won't. Will you?

[worthathousand]

[ a small frown at the question, expression staying thoughtful as she steps away from him and stands back up ]

...My unit would not want me to, unless it is to defend myself.

[theyregooddogs]

[watching her carefully then finding the way to his feet, inhaling to test the injuries and bandages]

We should separate.

[worthathousand]

[ looking up at him as he stands, carefully listening for any telltale hiss of pain ]

...You would rather be alone? Even with your injuries?

[theyregooddogs]

[oh, it's all just silence and uncomfortable faces]

I need to find people. And us together will scare them.

[worthathousand]

...Because I have a weapon. [ it's only half a question.

she sighs. ] I won't force you to stay with me. But if we cross paths again, I will try to protect you.

[theyregooddogs]

We all have weapons. Just a matter of numbers. And don't put yourself out.

[going to head left since shu went right]

[worthathousand]

[ in that case she'll go.... straight? or whatever third direction is available. ]
